I'd really like to add a XO Jockey wheel to my Turtleback as the tongue is heavier than I can comfortably lift. However, I'm honestly afraid of the trailer getting away from me since it doesn't have a parking brake I can throw if I need to stop it Anyone ever have a bad experience with a trailer getting away from them?
My two solutions are:
1. Get new brakes that have a parking brake lever and rig up a parking brake system which I can do, but will require lots of work that I don't really have time for right now.
2. Set up a switch that I can flip which will activate the automatic trailer disconnect system. I could even use the existing lanyard similar to how a wave runner safety lanyard works. I'm not looking to hold the trailer long term, just stop it from rolling and my trailer brakes are hooked up to 200ah worth of battery so I'd be good for a while
Has anyone done this, how did you approach it?
